of the impact prediction and assessment to the civil protection officers and to the
implicated industries, as support to the emergency response activities.
QUESTIONER: Shuzan Ren.
QUESTION: In your sensitivity test to different ABL parameterization schemes, do
you use the same meteorological fields (wind and temperature)?
ANSWER: For the SMART suite, in the ARAMIS interfacing module we used the
meteorological and turbulence fields provided by the MOLOCH model for applying
different parameterizations of the wind velocity standard deviations. This allows
addressing the differences between the schemes. Then, we have compared the same
parameterizations in the RMS system but using the meteorological and turbulence
fields output by the RAMS atmospheric model. This provides an intercomparison
between the two modelling systems, SMART and RMS.
